Levon is a young promising artist who studied in New York and played with Chico Freeman, Little Jimmy Scott and Giovanni Hidalgo among others. Then he decided to go back to Switzerland to work on his first cd mélopées. Mixing pop and afro music, this tibute to the entire african continent, in its complexity and its diversity, is the work of a swiss composer, Nicolas Levon Maret. It has been written and composed between New York & Paris, influenced by South African music and a trip to Mali. He offers you a voyage through the plains of Africa, a flight above the desert, a taxi-brousse ride, an exploration of the jungle or the thousands of landscapes you wish to imagine. 　　 He doesn't sing in any language previously known by any ethnologist or linguist.
